One suggestion would be to lay out the dimensions of the work space using boxes or the like. We did that when sorting out a kitchen remodel and found a couple problems that, while they looked good on paper, didn't work in real life. For example, can you reach the upper shelf in the corner of the horseshoe?

I'm also a pretty big guy (6'5", 225#) and while 40" sounds like all the room in the world, it is actually pretty tight, espcecially if you plan on putting a stool there for extended sessions at the bench. Perhaps narrower sides will work as well and give you more room to roam?

Another suggestion, and I base this one on personal experience that is too late to fix (well, I could, but that safe is friggin' heavy and bolted down tight...). Put your longest rifle in the cleaning stand and poke your longest cleaning rod through both ends: can you do that without having to move the rifle or banging into the presses? If not, rethink the layout.
